Suddenly, Principal Davis and Ms. Owen heard
an electrical spark, and then the power in the school went out.

"What happened?!" cried Ms. Owen.

"I… I don't know…" Principal Davis whispered,
using this time as an advantage.

Principal Davis got down on all fours and crawled
out of his pitch-black office and into the partly pitch-black hall. He stood
up and fixed his tie. He then kicked the door to his office shut, and then turned
around and locked it.

"Hey! Let me out of here!!!" Ms. Owen panicked.

Principal Davis laughed silently, and then heard
glass shatter. He turned to his left to see a faint, shadowed figure, staring
at him from all the way down the hall.

The figure started running towards him extremely
fast. Principal Davis's eyes widened when he saw the figure was coming towards
him. He tried to turn around and run away, but he couldn't, because the figure
running towards him was Kira herself. This time, she had no blank expression.

"Kira?" Principal Davis said in disbelief.

Kira stopped in her tracks when she reached
him and panted, "Principal Davis, we HAVE to get to a place where we can hide!"

"Hide? Why?" Principal Davis questioned her.

"Long story, we have to get into your office!"

"We can't go in there,"

"Why not?"

"Long story,"

"Okay then, the janitor's close!"

"Erm… okay…"

Kira made he way over to the janitor's closet,
which was placed directly beside Principal Davis's office. She opened the door,
and she, along with Principal Davis, went inside the closet and shut the door.

"Do you have a key to this closet?" Kira asked
Principal Davis.

"Yes, I'm the principal to this school, after
all" he replied.

"Lock the door!"

"I can't see a thing, it's pitch black in here,"

Kira extended her arm towards the wall behind
her and discovered a shelf was placed there. She felt along the shelf until
she found a flashlight. Kira grabbed the flashlight and turned it on. She shined
the light on the keyhole of the door.

"Lock it, hurry!" Kira ordered.

Principal Davis reached into his pocket and
pulled out a ring of keys. He selected a red key and stuck it into the keyhole.

And at that, Kira told EVERYTHING to Principal
Davis. She started with how she bought Sidney from the PetPet Shop three months
ago and ended with her faking being hypnotized.

"So, that's how you escaped the Meepit's clutches?
You faked being hypnotized?" Principal Davis asked her.

"Yup," Kira replied, grinning, "and I did a
pretty good job, if I say so myself,"

"Yes, but I think cutting the power at the school
was a little too far," Principal Davis told her.

"Well," Kira said, "to tell you the truth, I
didn't cut the power,"

"Then who did?"

"My best guess would have to be that Sidney
cut the power,"

"But the main fuse box is in the janitor's closet,"

"Is this the ONLY janitor's closet?"

"Yes,"

Suddenly, an empty can of Neocola rolled across
the linoleum floor of the janitor's closet and stopped when it hit Kira's arm.
Kira stared at the can for a minute, and then looked up to see Sidney the Meepit
staring directly at her.

Principal Davis and Kira gasped at the same
time. The Meepit chuckled when he saw the two were frightened.

'Hello, Kira', Sidney said to Kira telepathically.

"No!" Kira cried.

She hopped up from her sitting position on the
ground and frantically tugged at the doorknob.

Kira turned around to look at Principal Davis,
"Keys!"

"The red one!" Principal Davis exclaimed as
he tossed Kira the ring of keys.

She jammed the red key into the keyhole, and
that's when Sidney reached behind himself and revealed a pair of rather sharp
knife. He tossed it at Kira, and it slammed against the door, pinning itself
to the wood right in front of Kira.

She gasped, and then forced the door open. She
bolted out of the closet and ran down the hallway. Sidney hopped over Principal
Davis and ran after Kira.

Outside, a Yellow Yurble and its owner were
walking towards the school.

"This'll be your new school!" the Yurble's owner
said.

"Do I HAVE to go to school?" the Yurble asked
its owner.

The Yurble's owner walked to the front doors
of the school. The Yurble stayed behind to look through a window. He spotted
Kira running down the hall, followed by Sidney the Meepit right behind her.

"Mommy! Meepits are taking over the school!"

"Nice try, but you're still going to school."

Kira turned around to find Sidney was much faster
than she expected. She needed a plan, and she needed one fast. Running down
the hall as fast as possible, Kira spotted the girl's bathroom.

"All right!" she exclaimed.

Kira took a sharp turn to the left and zoomed
inside the girl's bathroom. She stopped when she reached a sink, and then turned
around. The bathroom was pretty darn dark, but it wasn't pitch black.

Sidney slowly pushed open the door to the girl's
bathroom. He smiled evilly when he found Kira was in the bathroom, and shut
the door behind him.

"Ya know, Sidney," Kira started, "I've been
thinking, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to be hypnotized. I mean, the least I
can do is try it out,"

'…really? Well! In that case, hold still!'

"Wait! I'd rather have you REALLY close to my
face. That way, I get the full blast,"

'Well, erm, okay then…'

Kira reached out and picked up Sidney. She held
the pink ball of fuzz close to her face and smiled. Sidney shrugged, and his
eyes suddenly turned large and glassy. That's when Kira ducked her head down
low. She continued to hold Sidney at the same height.

Unfortunately for Sidney, a mirror was placed
right above the sink that Kira stood in front of. Sidney stared at his reflection
with those evil, hypnotic eyes of his, and soon developed that annoying, blank
expression.

***

"Well, this is really it," Kira said, happily.

When Sidney stared at his reflection in the
bathroom mirror, he hypnotized himself.

"And now that you're hypnotized, the only way
you can do evil things is if someone tells you to! And no one would be that
dumb."

Kira finally arrived at the Money Tree. She
had tucked Sidney under arm and walked all the way from the school to the Money
Tree, planning to get rid of him once and for all. Kira let go of Sidney, and
he fell to the ground and bounced twice.

"May your new owner flush you down the toilet!"
Kira exclaimed in a singsong voice.

She skipped all the way back home. Unfortunately
for her, General Kass just happened to be strolling throughout Neopia Central
at the time. He spotted the drooling Meepit with the blank expression at the
Money Tree.

Kass picked up the Meepit and stared at it.
"Well, I am a bit desperate for minions," he started, "oh! But this is just
a silly, fat Meepit! It probably doesn't even have enough willpower to bite
me,"

The phrase 'bite me' rang in Sidney's
head, until finally, he realized he had been given an order.

CHOMP!
